The interior of the new Warby Parker store at Pinecrest.

Starting Saturday, Aug. 18, you'll be able to see what a Warby Parker retail store looks like.

The maker and retailer of prescription glasses and sunglasses, which built a loyal following as an online operation but recently has pushed into the brick-and-mortar world, announced it will open its first Cleveland-area store this weekend, at the Pinecrest mixed-use development in Orange Village. It's the second store for Warby Parker in Ohio; a Columbus location opened earlier this year. The company also plans to open a store later this year in Cincinnati.

The 1,200-square-foot store is at 255 Park Ave. within Pinecrest. A spokeswoman said in an email that it has about 10 employees. It features original artwork by Cleveland artist Ryan Jaenke, who created a "graphic, geometric mural" behind the store's reference desk, where customers pick up orders, consult with opticians and have frames adjusted.

In connection with the opening, Warby Parker said it's releasing "limited-edition, Pinecrest-exclusive sunglasses" known as "Downing Wide in Crystal Aqua with Flash Mirrored Iridescent lenses." Glasses from the Warby Parker Kids collection also will be available in-store.
